In first with the "I thought he was already dead."

He's no Dusty Hill.

Toss him in the old person ive never heard of thread.

Oh, and RIP, old person ive never heard of.

Nadine DiNinno making a name for herself with this hard-hitting story of much human interest. No doubt she too will one day have a thread on ChiefsPlanet.

I guess this means that he's not available in stores any more.

Mr. Microphone was cool.

RIP Mr. Ronco

Really? He was all over infomercials in the late 80s early 90s! His company was called Ronco...they made the rotisserie (set it and forget it), the food dehydrator, and the pocket fisherman.

My dad had the pocket fisherman and we still have our Ronco food dehydrator. I still use it and it works just as well as when we bought it in the 80s.

RIP

If it weren't for Weird Al, I would have no idea who this guy was. But as it is, he's one of the few individual people to ever get a Weird Al song written about him. So RIP.

He also sold this machine that cut soda bottles so you could make them into drinking glasses. Yes, I am old.

Wouldn't it just be cheaper to buy new glasses? They're cheap and they last forever (unless you happen to break them)...I don't see the benefit to making your own.

Set him and forget him

“Hey good lookin! We’ll be back to pick you up later!”

If you grew up in the 70s and 80s, this guy was a legend.
